And just for fun :) in chappy two Rumble stats that his Call code is "RTR1984sound" can anyone guess what it stands for? I give Cyber cookies and Zen-hugzz to those that get it right XD
Loki: Eh your fine sister, no biggie! Trust me mine have so many mess ups ugh…
Xobit: Loki wrote this entire Chappy since my stupid slagging homework nearly killed off my inspiration! sorry for the slow update people I'll do better in the future, as ya'll can see I have an excellent ass kicker by my side to get me in gear
Ohh disclaimer thingy; blah blah blahblah blah (cries) blah blahblah blah. who cares anyways? (looks at Loki)
Loki: Now that isn't true you did all the pre-post work! Anyway … don't look at me I don't put Disclaimers on every chappy of my stuff! (sigh) back to the subject, we have noticed that some people think I'm a figment of Xobit's imagination or as a flamer from one of my fics thought that she was a figment of mine…… yeah we burst out laughing too but just to clarify it, my own account is LokiWaterDraca and I have my own fics, most of which Xobit has written parts of or whole chappys for too. That said on with the fic!... Darn it ah' went into a rant again! Sorry sister….
Xobit: is okay sister! And really we nearly died from laughing too hard
Chapeter 4: and it all goes to the pit!!
When Frenzy heard about Barricades high grade spree he ran towards the brig in a sobbing, almost psychotic break down only to be stopped by Rumble and his sisters. ::"let me go 'Cade needs me!!":: The little 'con screeched when they dragged him back to the room, ::"No Frenzy he needs to deal with this himself Soundwave will take care of it when and if the situation calls for it.":: Rumble said swinging his twin over his shoulder, said twin struggled until Buzzsaw flew up and started warbling the song that had put her brother into recharge when they where all younger and he wouldn't calm down.
"I heard that you and the little glitch are more then friends now," Astrotrain growled as he picked up Barricade and slammed him into the wall. The smaller, younger mech stared at him defiantly, gripping 'Astrotrains arm in an effort escape. "What do you want slagger?"
"I want you, Barricade and that little piece of scrap aint getting in my way." He leaned closer and 'Cade could smell his rancid energon laden breath, Astrotrain licked his cheek and trailed his glossa down to Barricades neck making the smaller 'con increase his struggles.
"Get off of me I'm taken!" He practically shrieked as fear bounced through his processor at high speed making his movements more and more desperate.
"Didn't you hear me? Nothing is getting in my way even if I have to kill your slagging partner," snarled Astrotrain furiously. Instantly Barricade froze his optics wide. Feeling his struggles cease Astrotrain continued his exploration of 'Cades neck, biting non to gently leaving small dents in the metal skin.
Realizing Barricades reaction the larger mech grinned savagely against his victims neck, then continued listing ways in which Frenzy could die, his voice falling into a seductive whisper belying its message. "I always favored taking the enemy apart piece by piece but with him I could do it different ways to tech you a lesson…besides there's not much to rip up is there? How about I just drop him off with the seekers? They still want to get him back… or maybe I'll take a nice piece of him before I do so. Something we can keep… a souvenir"
Astrotrain smiled again as he lifted his head and shifted to hold his horrified catch up with one arm, then moved his other hand down to stroke the seems of 'Cades leg amour lifting up and forcing it around his waist. Barricade jerked, he had allowed few to touched him like this, surprisingly perhaps but 'Cade was actually conservative about who he sparked with and didn't take well to the feeling of his sensitive wires being stroked nor the forced suggestive positioning that had him chest to chest, spark chamber to spark chamber with Astrotrain.
"Nononono! Ge-ge-get off me!" Panic had replaced fear as he thrashed about trying to kick his captor. "What did I say 'bout resisting? Do you want him to die Barribarri? I can always think of… other ways to kill him you know it wont be that hard little 'Bots like him have accidents all the time! In fact all those little glitches could meet with accidents…" Still whispering his mouth almost touching 'Cades audio receptor, there was no doubting that Astrotrain spoke the truth. The sheer loathing when he spoke of the Casseticons and the revolting eagerness when suggesting ways of killing them...
Astrotrain paused as if thinking then shifted his hand to dig deep into an, oh so sensitive, spot on Barricades chest plate, the same spot his partner had massaged before his stupid angry outburst and subsequent imprisonment. Pain wracked through his body and he arched backwards, to get away from it, as he felt energon and coolant lines rip.
"You will not bond with him if you know what's good for him and you," With each whispered word Astrotrain twisted his fingers inside the amour seem. Agony flared and ebbed with the twists and clashed with terror in Barricades processor, it quickly had him cry out in helpless anger. With his mouth now open Astrotrain dove in for a brutal kiss sucking on his glossa, meanwhile running an energon covered hand across his thigh squeezing lightly and then digging his finger tips into the gap in amour on the side of his leg.
'Cade felt his spark retract, trying to escape from Astrotrains onslaught and then his processor shut down to basic survival programming. "I-I wont I promise." Suddenly the smaller 'con was dropped to the ground, he shut his optics tightly trying to block out what had just happened. Tears threatened to flow but were violently pushed away when he heard the sounds of tiny feet and claws.
As a Cassetticon body scaled his own unmoving one and gently traced the wound muttering incomprehensible curses, another landed on his shoulder and rubbed against his head in a calming motion. Barricade couldn't move he was too much in shock, he couldn't even think since the thought of a dead Frenzy filled his processor…
Heavier foot steps sounded, "Barricade?" A 'Con knelt and spoke softly, it calmed and soothed 'Cade who still refused to move. Soundwave? No It couldn't be and yet it was… spoke in a hushed voice to some one else and then he felt him self drift off unable to stay online.
Ratbat instantly shifted course when he saw Astrotrain digging into 'Cades armor "You will not bond with him if you know what's good for him and you," The larger 'Con whispered almost inaudible to even Ratbat's ears. Screaming calls to his brothers and sisters the chittering Cassetticon made a screeching noise just as Barricade yelled in pain and spoke "I-I wont I promise."
Astrotrain dropped him, and stomped away choosing to ignore the small body's running towards Barricades fallen one. Buzzsaw landed and tried to get him to move chirping and rubbing the bigger 'Con's head only to find he wouldn't respond.
::"Rumble!?":: She asked, ::"Why wont he move?! What's wrong with him brother?":: Rumble traced the gash left by 'Train and then looked up at Ratbat who was clinging to the sealing, avoiding his younger siblings optics. ::"He doesn't want 'Cade to be with Frenzy Astrotrain threatened him that if he didn't do what he said he'd… kill Frenzy.":: Ratbat's matter of fact statement had Buzzsaw hissing angrily, her metal wings mantled in a strike pose.
::"And?":: Ravage prompted standing guard as well as sending information strait to their creator, ::"He agreed to do what ever the commander wanted if it meant Frenz' would stay alive.":: this time anger rang in Ratbat's mental voice as his normal control faltered in the face of Astrotrains crime.
Rumble stared at the prone form; he would go through that just so their brother would live? The Cassetticon twin knew about forced spark bonding, many of the ones who were forced into it committed suicide not long after… or simply died their sparks shattering under the strain. As if that was not enough it was also said to be the most painful thing ever, and he was sure 'Cade knew all of this…
At that point Soundwave walked up with hurried steps, Ravage had kept him updated and he knelt down trying to accessing Barricade's memory to determine if Astrotrain had succeeded in his endeavor, however he was unable to reach anything but jumbled terror, pain, fear and snippets of memories that showed pain and pleasure. Beyond that roiling masse Barricades processor was a blank slate the blocks his core programming had set up to protect, worked only too well even against those who tried to help. Picking up the now off-line 'Con, he carried him back to his quarters silently thanking Primus that Frenzy wasn't there.
While Rumble sealed up the ruptured coolant liens Barricades chest, Soundwave slipped paste the mind blocks with relative ease, easing quietly into the memories he sought. When he finally disconnected the 'Con winced, and stumbled away. ::"Rumble be careful that… that Slaghead tried to force a spark bonding…":: The small 'Con nodded and watched as his creator found his way to the other 'berth in the room and sat down.
::"Buzzsaw go find Frenzy and distract him, he can not know about this,":: The robotic bird nodded and flew off, casting one last worried look at the unconscious 'Con. A few moments later Rumble spoke. ::"This is deep, almost to his spark casing,":: The little 'Con growled while his welded more of the lines together. ::"That slagger could've killed him!"::
Still grumbling to himself Rumble finished up, leaving no marks or evidence that there had ever been a injury, even checking the dents on 'Cades neck to see if the nanos where doing their job. Soundwave closed his optics, leaning heavily on the wall to his left. Ratbat fluttered over to his shoulder and nudged his creator lightly.
::"I'm ok Rat' just a little tired…… he was in a lot of pain but his upmost thoughts were to protect Frenzy and the rest of you… no matter the cost.":: Upon hearing this Ravage jumped up beside Barricade and then up onto his chest plate, laying down with his head raised protectively and started purring.
::"Who votes we officially adopt him into the unit?":: The large catbot asked, the response was an immediate chorus of yeses from all the cassettes, even Buzzsaw radioed in her approval while she searched for Frenzy. ::"Good its agreed then":: Ratbat chirped::"But Frenz' cant know about the reasoning either…… shall we use his response in the brig to justify it?":: More agreements followed, including one from the half off- lined Soundwave.
Barricade on-lined to find something very warm on his chest plate, at first he panicked thinking someone had found him in his half broken state of mind… but then noticed the other balls of radiating warmth at his side, shoulder and the crook of his arm. It was comforting especially since the lump on top of him was… purring? It was Ravage… which meant the others were probably the rest of the Cassetticons.
Noticing he was awake Ravage made a low mewing sound and shifted to move closer, waking his brethren. The bigger 'Con tried to move only to have Rumble push him back down, "No moving, 'Cade" the catbot added his own warning growl and pressed down on Barricades neck slightly. Seeing the danger in moving he leaned back.
"Rumble? Where's Frenzy? Is he ok?"
"He's fine now get some rest! you Glitch…"
"But…" Barricade tried to argue, "NOW," Ravage pressed against his throat harder and growled darkly. "I… alright," Sighing he relaxed and let himself fall into recharge not wanting the large catbot on his chest to get angry.
